Okay, as many of you know I developed this theory about character positioning revealing a previous mock of 35 characters to possibility being true and whatnot.
I'm not a fan of the roster. The only reason I would want the roster in it is because it has Marth, my main. Yes, I'm really that selfish. Whatever. I don't like the roster really and I've been focusing on trying to disconfirm my other theory. Again, just because I presented the roster, doesn't mean I think it should be the roster. Anyway, to the point.
While searching for disconfirmation (like AC picture, R.O.B. as SSE enemy) I looked at Zeldafan28112 posted saying that on Dec31th somebody claimed somebody posted this:
So I went back to check on Zeldafan28112's posting history. This is from existing threads and google cache in chronological order:
Zeldafan28112 Topic Created: "If this dumb roster is real, then this is a defeat for us girl gamers"
On thread: "Tell..me the 35 Roster isnt..true..."

Yeah, she wanted female characters.
Micaiah = Female
Samus = Female so Dark Samus = Female (Arguably)
The "Sakurai is lazy" and "Screw you Sakurai" bother me too much to believe what she says.
Some people on the thread say they remember the Mushroomy Kingdom & Ganon's Temple but don't remember a character list attached.
Some don't remember it at all.
Well, I'm taking it all with a grain of salt as Card would say (and has said about my theory
)
My suggestion, just wait. It'll be leak soon. I think I'm done with trying to disconfirm it and I'm just leaving my theory as it is until the game comes out.
Oh yeah, if this post comes out horribly formatted, I'll fix it with an edit but it's hard to preview since the boards are crashing a lot.

Okay, so this would disconfirm my theory. I'm intrigued.Can't/won't/don't ask about how I have this info. We all know that game by now right? Here are some things about Brawl:
- Olimar: PLAYABLE
- Ness: PLAYABLE
- Lucario: PLAYABLE
- Wolf: PLAYABLE
- Dark Samus: PLAYABLE
- Micaiah: PLAYABLE
- Geno: NOT PLAYABLE
- Isaac: NOT PLAYABLE
- Mewtwo: NOT PLAYABLE
- Roy: NOT PLAYABLE
- No more third party characters.
- Ganon's Castle will be a playable stage. It's actually very scary. Has that creepy Ganon music from Ocarina of Time in it. Do I smell Rated T for Teen???
- Mushroomy Kingdom will be a playable stage. Sidescrolling version of World 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros.
- Cool boss battle with Eggman in SSE.
This was posted by someone on December 31st on this board. I typed Hankenstein when I saved the post orginally.

I was looking forward to cool chicks like Krystal or Micaiah being included in the game but there's not a single new female character from Melee to Brawl. That sucks.
Sakkurai only added males or robots.

Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it silly.
I just want to play as some asskicking chicks.

- Posted 1/22/2008 1:14:55 PM: Ok Brawlers, let's look at the pretty much confirmed roster:
<snips 35 char roster>
Where do I begin???? We gain 12 Nintendo characters since Melee, but we lose 4. That's only 8 more. Over 6 years since Melee and we only have a net gain of 8 Nintendo characters? And they've had all this time and have made us wait this long to only give us 2 third-party characters?
And why cut anyone to begin with? RIP Dr. Mario, Pichu, Roy, and Mewtwo! The only one that makes total sense to cut was Pichu since EVERYONE hated Pichu. But WHY cut Mewtwo especially? This sucks!
And R.O.B.? Is Sakurai kidding with this crap? He goes out of his way to include some robot character that nobody gives a crap about and he cuts old characters and doesn't even put in cool characters from Golden Sun or Animal Crossing? WTF?????
And like I said in another topic, not a single one of the new characters is a female. He lied about wanting new female characters I guess (and Zero Suit Samus doesn't count.)
I am already extremely extremely extremely disappointed in Sakurai and can't believe I waited this long for this.
- Posted 1/22/2008 1:17:35 PM: But it's pretty much confirmed. That video proves that it's real. No way someone gets that lucky in guessing the order of characters.
- Posted 1/22/2008 1:18:38 PM: I agree greenjester. It's screwed up big.
- Posted 1/22/2008 1:19:30 PM: That may be true reaverz, but why do something as stupid as cutting Mewtwo for R.O.B.?????
- Posted 1/22/2008 1:42:27 PM: "35 quality characters > 20 some quality characters + 20 clones/crap characters"
But they're not all quality! They should have cut Game and Watch and not included ROB at all.
Yeah, she wanted female characters.
Micaiah = Female
Samus = Female so Dark Samus = Female (Arguably)
